Sesame Oil

Sesame Oil, which is a refined moisturizing oil derived from Sesame Seeds, has the same emollient properties as other nut and vegetable oils and is commonly used as a carrier oil for skin care products. Absorbs easily and softens the skin.

Silk Powders

Silk Powder is obtained from the secretion of silkworms. It is used primarily in skin care products to improve humectancy and oil absorption.

Soybean Oil

Soybean Oil is one of the most important oils produced today. It contains about 60% polyunsaturated fatty acids and is a good source of Vitamin E, used frequently in soaps and bath oils. The oil obtained by soybeans is extracted, consisting of emollient properties such as oleic, linolenic and saturated acids. Ancient traditions cultivated soybeans for its protein, oil, and lecithin content – believed to be a superior moisturizing agent that helps soften skin.

How to Apply:
-Apply evenly to damp hair - from roots to ends - keeping most of the product at the ends
-Blow dry evenly with a brush to straighten out hair
-Apply on dry hair for control and shine
-For optimum results and hold, follow with a straightening iron

Makes my frizzy hair look great without weighing it down. I use way less of my flat iron now because this product makes blow drying my hair almost finish the job. Also, when I curl it, I can run some through my hair when I'm done to make it look smoother and more refined. It's so light weight it doesn't even weigh down my hair when it's curled! I really like this product, because it is lighter and lacks the waxy finish of drugstore brands I have used in the past. Also, you only need a tiny bit, so I feel like this tube will last me a long time!

I have extremely curly hair that sometimes needs something different done to it. This does exactly that! I love it and really hope this product doesn't get discontinued!

I love this product! It does exactly what it says on the site. I have African-American hair and it works so well. It saves so much time and effort when styling my hair.

Hands down best hair product I have ever used! I live in Mississippi and this is one of the few products I've used that can combat the humidity. I also have oily hair and its's difficult for me to find products that do not make it worse. This cream makes my hair feel awesome without weighing it down. It's a must have!

Like other reviewer said, I too, don't know what to do with so many of my other hair styling products. THIS is AMAZING! I have tried many, and I mean many styling products - Alterna, Aveda, Living Proof, DHC, Giovanni, Bad Hair, Bumble & Bumble... Just to name a few. No products come close to Heat Protective Silk Straightening Cream! I have had Japanese Straight perm and coloring and because I use good quality products my hair was doing OK. But OMG! This product takes my hair to a whole new level/dimension! You may think after getting Japanese straight perm my hair is already straight. Actually some parts were treated excessively and fried my hair. So I started using flat iron and was need for some heat protective product as well a good hair pak. Finding this product, and using it with Olive Fruit Oil Deeply Repairative Hair Pak made my hair INCREDIBLY manageable, shiny, silky soft and straight. I can not recommend it highly enough!

Rated 5 out of 5 by Kiku It works!
I was about to board a flight out of SFO, and I forgot to pack a styling cream. I grabbed a tube of the Heat-Protective Silk Straightening Cream at the airport Kiehl's shop. I was very skeptical that it would actually work due to my long, very thick, coarse Asian hair, that generally requires a few products and a straightening iron. To my surprise, it works! I would normally never let my hair air dry, but now I can. It leaves my hair shiny and soft. I am truly sold on this product, which unfortunately means I don't have a use for the cabinet full of styling products I no longer need.

This product is truly the most amazing hair product! I use it religiously! I have very curly hair, and use it when I straighten it or curl it. I constantly have people ask me how I am able to get my hair so straight and soft considering how curly it is, and I always tell them this product is the most amazing product! I have been using it for about two years now, and cannot imagine not using it!

I hate to admit it but I constantly go back and forth between using Aveda hair products and Kiehl's hair products. HOWEVER..... no matter which phase of brand I am using, I ALWAYS use this cream.
I have crazy curly hair and if I am rocking my curls I use this, if I am flat ironing my hair I use this.
The price is amazing. The product last a long time, all you need is a dollop of this. Not too much or your hair will get greasy. If I am traveling, this is the only styling product I bring because you can use before blowdrying and a little afterward to smooth and finish your hair style.
I have been buying this product since I was 18 and am now 28.
Thank you Kiehl's!
